Old trafford.

Star-studded, all eyes on it.

Fleet Street gave the biggest highlight of this round of the Champions League a bright title early: Ye Yifeng fights Cristiano Ronaldo again!

It seems that compared to Manchester United facing Juventus.

The last time the two met was five months ago, in the Champions League final, the superstars once again went head-to-head, and it was even more explosive.

Carragher and Gary Neville had a quarrel in the studio before the game, and Rio Ferdinand, who was also a guest commentator today, sat on the sidelines and looked left and right, not intending to help, and completely watching the play.

Carragher took the initiative to stir things up.

Today, he started talking about a topic from a novel angle.

Only a handful of Red Devils fans have chanted Ronaldo with the slogan "Welcome home".

Old Trafford has put up a slogan like that for David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo over the past few years, and it seems that the Red Devils fans are always welcoming their former heroes home.

Carragher's point now is that United fans have realised a very real problem: Ye Yifeng has the potential to become the greatest No.7 in the team's history!

He is far more important to Manchester United than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although Gary Neville has always supported Ye Yifeng, this time he sided with Ronaldo, and he said that he wanted to see again.

Wait for Ye Yifeng to really win the honor for the team and then evaluate it.

His position is due to the fact that he was once team-mates with Cristiano Ronaldo, who had climbed to the top of Europe and was captain at the time.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he publishes an autobiography, he can describe what happened when he worked with Ronaldo as a big brother.

But for Ye Yifeng, he can only be a celebrity, and naturally he can't support Carragher's views.

Carragher banged on the table to make his point.

'Gary, if you haven't played for the Red Devils, look at it as an outsider, David Beckham left Manchester United at 28 and Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United at 24.

You know better than anyone how much they have contributed to Manchester United and how much United have contributed to shaping them.

Cristiano Ronaldo has only scored more than 20 goals in one year in six years in the Premier League, and that was his peak season in the Premier League.

His first three years with the club were in the single digits.

How he performed, what the fans thought of him at the time, you know better than anyone else!

Manchester United nurtured him, watched him grow, metamorphose, go from great to first-class, from first-class to top-notch, and then what?

He went to Madrid and dedicated the rest of his professional life to Real Madrid.

What about Ye Yifeng?

Was he trained by Manchester United?

No.

Has he ever challenged the patience of the fans?

No.

From the first minute he joined Manchester United, the 26-year-old Ye Yifeng was already destined to contribute his peak and the golden age of his career to Manchester United!

13 goals and 7 assists in 9 Premier League games, 2 goals and 2 assists in 2 Champions League games.

He has already performed better than Cristiano Ronaldo's peak season at Manchester United.

Considering Manchester United's decline over the past few years, shouldn't Ye Yifeng be more admired?

Wake up, if you were in the current Manchester United team, you would be happy with Cristiano Ronaldo, but you know that with Ye Yifeng, you can be successful. ”

Gary Neville was speechless as he looked at Ferdinand.

Silent?

They are all eating the bowl of rice of Manchester United's famous people, and the Red Army famous people are smashing the rice bowl of Manchester United's famous people, don't you mind?

Ferdinand coughed lightly and said: "Manchester United's weakness highlights the value of Ye Yifeng, but history will remember a hero, but to remember a team, a club, it needs team honors.

If Ye Yifeng can lead Manchester United to win important titles, then he is qualified to compare his contribution to Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's like Thierry Henry's contribution to Arsenal is remembered, but people don't have the impression of how great Arsenal are on the pitch.

Ye Yifeng is very successful, and that is what he achieved at Atletico Madrid before.

There is no doubt that he has contributed more and performed better than other players this season.

But if the final season is empty, it all doesn't matter.

We'll be talking about what it takes to be successful, as we have done over the past few summers. Who else do Manchester United need! ”

Gary Neville almost wanted to applaud.

Carragher laughed: "So Manchester United can only live in the glory of the past, I see what you mean." ”

Ferdinand spread his hands, not wanting to talk much about the subject.

His personal position is also in favor of Ye Yifeng.

Too much talk can make you lose it all.

In the summer, he suggested that Sandezi spend some more money, but it was definitely not to buy Ronaldo, but to sign Mbappe.

It's a pity that Manchester United wants to control the financial risk, and Mourinho has not moved Aldreveld who has been coveting for a summer, let alone Mbappe, who has nothing to talk about without spending 200 million euros.

Old Trafford Players' Tunnel.

When Ye Yifeng and the president met, the two took the initiative to reach out to each other.

Since the Champions League final, we haven't met again for nearly half a year.

For the past three years, the two have met in competition every few months, or at the awards ceremony.

This time when they got together again, Ye Yifeng also felt a lot of emotion.

The president is black.

After experiencing the World Cup, it seems that the traces of time have begun to be left on the face.

A man who will turn 34 years old in less than 5 months.

I don't know if I can still have a few skills at my peak.

Ronaldo has not served his old age, he is still fighting, and he is still impacting more honors and records, and the legend is not over.

Ye Yifeng and the president appeared together to attract attention.

Pogba also pretended to shake hands with Juventus' former team-mates in an attempt to gain momentum.

The starters from both teams came on and Old Trafford was in a frenzied mood.

The older generation of Red Devils fans "misses" Cristiano Ronaldo because he represents the last glorious era.

Stats aside, he was the most outstanding player in the team when the Red Devils won the trophy in that era.

And now Ye Yifeng has shown strong personal strength, but he has not really brought glory to Manchester United.

It is also difficult to define his role in Manchester United's history.

But it has been nearly ten years since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Red Devils, and the current Red Devils fans are focused on supporting Ye Yifeng, which is one of the reasons why they can hold their heads high and be full of confidence.

It's no longer about remembering the past.

Jose Mourinho was a kind of man today.

put on a long-lost 433 formation.

The tactical calculation is that if you play Tai Chi with Juventus, then basically the backhand operation space will be meaningless, and Juventus will definitely play ahead to stifle the signs of threat.

It's better to take the risk of studing on the attacking line, rush the tempo, and once you can settle the battle or establish a clear score advantage before 70 minutes, you will be more comfortable defending with your backhand.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Ashley Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Pogba, Ye Yifeng, Nemanja Matic.

Forwards: Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial.

Pogba's performance in the last league game also gave Mourinho confidence and made him dare to put on a 433 formation today, which requires that today's anti-king cannot make a mistake.

Juventus started 442.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro.

Midfielders: Cuadrado, Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Dybala.

Mourinho put Ye Yifeng in the midfield, and no one was surprised.

It's not so much that United lack strikers, but rather that they lack the attacking engine in midfield, a role that can lead rhythm and deliver shells up front.

Ye Yifeng has been playing this role since the beginning of the season, and it is not a special request from Mourinho.

But as he played, he found that the team needed him the most at the moment.

Maybe Pogba, who is not a wave, can also play, but the creativity is slightly lower, but putting Ye Yifeng on the front line can increase the attack firepower of the front line.

It's just that at the end of the day, United's midfield and back line are another concern.

So Mourinho thinks about it, and at present, Ye Yifeng is the most suitable to play this role.

Before kick-off, Ye Yifeng and Pogba deliberately fist-to-fist made a ceremonial interaction.

In the report after the last game against Chelsea, the combination of the two in midfield was directly rated as the strongest in the Premier League!

I'm afraid De Bruyne couldn't have imagined that Ye Yifeng came to the Premier League for less than half a season, and his statistics exploded other strikers in the Premier League, and then he competed for the first midfielder in the Premier League in terms of performance!

Pogba is also looking forward to rubbing more violent sparks with Ye Yifeng in the midfield!

The whistle blows, and the game begins.

In the battle of supergiants, Ye Yifeng was very excited.

Immediately after kick-off, Mourinho demanded that he attack.

Or else?

Is playing 433 on the catwalk pose?

After three passes and two downs in the midfield, Ye Yifeng rushed forward, Pjanic's defense was useless in front of him, and he received Pogba's pass and knocked the ball directly behind him CHOP changed direction to complete the cross-cutting to get rid of, and the opponent immediately turned around and forced again, and the V-shaped pull ball changed direction to completely break through.

Juventus' other two full-backs, Cuadrado and Matuidi, immediately tightened up their defences down the middle, and their defence was somewhat similar to Atletico Madrid's previous 442, with the wide players being more active and introductive when defending, and the efficiency depended on the player's role and ability.

There was also Bentancur in front of him to intercept it head-on, Ye Yifeng stopped and pulled the ball diagonally back when he was hit from three sides, and Pogba followed up and sent the ball to the left side with a diagonal pass.

Anthony Martial crosses the ball from the wing and moves towards the centre of the box.

Ye Yifeng took the initiative to run to the left rib of the penalty area.

Anthony Martial sends in a through ball.

Leonardo Bonucci drops back to the inside in the defense.

Ye Yifeng stopped the ball and turned around, made a cross, Bonucci immediately stepped forward to force and block, but Ye Yifeng faked the fax buckle and then rushed to the bottom line.

Deliver the ball to the back of goal from a position close to the baseline.

The ball flew over the goal, and Szczesny jumped up to try to knock the ball out, but the raised arm that jumped to the limit could not touch the ball.

Romelu Lukaku is marked by Giorgio Chiellini.

Marcus Rashford, who cut inside at the back post, headed the ball into the side-netting from a tight angle.

The Red Devils fans sighed and burst into cheers.

This opening is not ordinary.

Juventus fans are upset!

Ye Yifeng retreated to defend.

Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Ye Yifeng's seemingly shining figure with a serious expression behind the middle line.

The style of the king of red and white is still the same.

Change places and continue the day show!
